Okay, my edit took way too long...
I care about spoilers when they come from asshats being asshats or entertainment sites being asshats but I don't really care if the book or the show gets where ever it goes first. It's not going to affect my looking forward to one or the other, if it did I wouldn't care about the fourth season of the show starting. I caught up and passed the show when I finally got to reading the books. I didn't start that until after the season episode of season three when my copies of the first four arrived. I only started with the show a couple weeks before the third season premiered as someone finally pushed me over the edge of checking the show out and also into checking out the books and I'm glad they did.
I'm sure they'll be able to stretch The Winds of Winter (I can't call it WoW, that's World of Warcraft for me) into two seasons or at least one and a half or so like ASoS. Hoping now that TWoW makes it out in 2015 but by the time season seven rolls around in 2017 there's no avoiding the show getting ahead unless George somehow gets into a pace similar to the one after AGoT was published with ACoK and ASoS though I imagine a great deal of why he moved so fast with them was because they were already fleshed out in where he was going. Hard to believe the man who took 11 years to release the last two books put out the previous three over the course of just four years before without already having a big head start with where he was going which makes since since he apparently started in 1991 and slowly took it from there.
Revised that for you. We might see WOW before the series ends, but I'm guessing we'll see WOW material in the show before the book is released.
Edit: I'm glad I've never cared about spoilers. Some people are going to be mighty sad when the series finishes years before the last book ever gets released and they have to try and duck spoilers, because apparently for some people the only enjoyable part about the show/books are the surprises. Not the writing, story, characters or anything else.
